Tories Attack Labour on Redistribution

Something must be wrong when the Tories attack Labour for not redistributing wealth well enough. It does lend itself to the view that progressive tax has become a universally-accepted part of British politics. It is rather a shame to see the Johnny-come-lately Tories claiming the moral high ground on this most crucial of policies.

That said, one wonders quite what Labour is playing at with the current disarray in the Treasury.

  1. Well there goes my Party of Privilege idea…

    Well, not entirely, but it really was striking to see the party speaking out for “Cleaners” and “Caretakers”. Rather refreshing, really. I would argue that their policy does not match their rhetoric, but still… Politics really does seem to be slipping upside down.
